I am a Chilean professional engineer and have made a living working in different roles in multiple engineering and industrial projects that have taken me and my family to many places around the world.
As an amateur thinker, philosopher and model maker I have struggled for 25+ years on a multi dimensional model of humanity that lead me to this Model Thinking I intend to present interacting with you in this blog.
I have not writen and do not intend to write books on the subject, but instead, I have chosen to make and show presentations, write short tales and comment and complement on other people’s thinking and writing in order to polish the thinking tool I have been developing over the years.
I believe that technology is relentlessly taking us away from writing and reading, and back to the spoken word that started All.

Presentation of Model Thinking
- When did the first human beings started living, roaming and acting on earth?
- When did the first human, by grumbling and acting, showed to another fellow human being, how much and where to act and thus became the first trainer?
- When did the first human stopped acting instinctively and started thinking on how to improve acting?
- When did the first human decided that acting and thinking for strict survival did not take all day and started thinking in order to understand reality?
- When did the first human, by speaking and acting, explained to another felow human being, how and when to think and thus became the first instructor?
- When did the first human decided that understanding all reality was too monumental a task, and chose to surrender to reality instead and started praying in order to contemplate and feel one with her?
- When did the first human, by reciting and acting, transmitted to another fellow human being, what and who to pray to and thus became the first master?
- When did the first human decided that contemplating reality was just the path, and chose to welcome reality instead and started meditating in order to admire and be one on her?
- When did the first human, by whispering and acting, demonstrated to another fellow human being, why and for what to meditate and thus became the first guide?
- When did we started taking notes and distributing disaggregated phragments of the wise spoken words of our guides, the inspired spoken words of our masters, the spoken words full of knowledge of our instructors and the powerful spoken words of our trainers?
- When did the real, fake and self appointed trainers, instructors, masters and guides, started making a living out of writing for the general public, thus despising the spoken word as the only efficient communication tool with their own tribes?
- When did All Us started reading those writen words trying to distill and interpret their sense, and gave up looking for real live trainers, instructors, masters and guides to learn from them directly?
- Why after so many centuries of speaking, listening, writing and reading? All Us still:
- Do not seem to be able to agree on building a Human World for All Us?
- Despise meditation?
- Abhor praying?
- Most of the time do after-the-act-thinking?
- Act looking for our own good?
This Model Thinking Manifesto pretends to ChangeThis undesired reality, by sharing a vision and outlining and proposing a new and more human way to act, think, pray and meditate upon her, so All Us can start enjoying and rejoicing while travelling on this wonderful blue planet that was Given to All Us, the People of Earth....
Who are All Us?
No matter what do we feel, do or possess while we live and totally depend on Earth, this wonderful blue planet we travel on around the sun, she or any part of her will never actually belong to you, me, him, her, us, or them.
She will always belong to this uthopic “All Us”, the Global Being we are relentlessly becoming aware of. In fact I believe that somehow All Us belong to her until we wake up from our sleep and can thus fly on our own. However, our bodies and our crawling, floating and flying body carrying vehicles, seem to be trapped and fatally atracted to her as science and technology already know.
By now:
We might even believe to know:
But, Who is, or better, Who are All Us?
That is a very good and important question that deserves to be formulated properly and then asked.
Trying to answer it, we will first ask ourselves 4 more similar questions:
Since it appears to be easy, we will first propose negative answers to each one of them:
Thus we can provide a temporary negative answer to our original question and say that:
What about looking for a positive answer?
Let’s assume that:
I know who I am.
and
You know who you are
Then we are: You and I and some others
And
All Us are: You and I and All Others. (Definition 1)
And if any one or both of us do not believe to belong into All Us:
All Us are: You and All Others (including me). (Definition 2)
Or
All Us are: All Others (including you) and I. (Definition 3)
Or
All Us are: All Others (including you and I). (Definition 4)
So, when it comes to All Us there is no way out!!!!
But,
Do we really know who we are?
And, assuming that we know,
Is it sufficient to know who we are?
Or, we also need to know:
Why are we?
For what are we?
It is obvious that we are who and why we are, even if we do not know or like who and why we are, so, in order to look for some sense and purpose for our being , let us concentrate on for what we are....

- The others are not what they possess, do or feel, they are somebody else.

Thesis
I believe that in spite of our ever increasing diversity of real, unreal or virtual identities (who) and reasons (why), All Us Human Beings have a generic purpose (for what), and that our economic (how much), geographic (where), politic (how) and historic (when) differences are irrelevant.
In order to be generic, that purpose could not be other that to welcome and love our neighbor....
The thesis of this Manifesto is precisely that creative and speculative thinking have always blurred our vision and made All Us blind to that simple fact.
Since All Us are not what you, I, us and the others posses, do or feel, All Us are not just for possessing, doing or feeling, but simply for being and rejoicing ourselves while enjoying this wonderful Earth that was given to All Us.
And we are back to where we started: if we accept that we are for being, we need to understand what is that state of being that lays beyond the states of possessing, doing and feeling.
And here is where an integral and coherent model of humanity and Model Thinking can become handy....

And here is where an integral and coherent model of humanity and Model Thinking can become handy....
What is this Model Thinking?
Can be understood as designing, customizing, adapting or simply choosing an integral and coherent model of our humanity and then “let it think on its own, following its own internal rules”.
The resulting thinking tool will release our minds from impossible, presuntuous, and therefore useless and distracting, attempts to understand all (as opposed to the somewhat more realistic understanding everything) and creative and speculative thinking.
This in turn will allow our limited minds some more useful time for productive and extractive thinking, for understanding and explaining reality, and for planing, coordinating and supervising our acts.
The proposed thinking tool, by resorting to “humble-showing-and-half-thinking-understanding-and-explaining” higher dimensions of reality, will allow our hearts more time for creative contemplating and praying and our spirits more time for speculative admiring and meditating.

Are you ready to accept that we have four complementary dimensions?
One day we are down to earth pragmatic and believe there is all about perceiving reality or we care about what we and others possess.
Other day we believe there is some room for understanding reality or we care about what we and others do.
Another day we believe there is some room for contemplating reality or we care about what we and others feel.
Then one good day we believe there is some room for admiring reality or we care about who we and others are.
I believe that those four different “states of being” (I posses, I do, I feel and I am) correspond to our four basic dimensions and since we can not separate them, we can say they are complemantary.
So here we have the basic model we were looking for....

The first dimension (of possessing)
To the first human dimension or world of possessions that can be perceived, shown, and competed for, we will refer to as the physical or economical world.
This is the world of bodies, states, power, desires, faith, avarice, gluttony, temperance, plutocracy, extractive talent, beauty, ugliness, aesthetical conscience, infidelity, dependency and you, traditions, conservatives, the howmuchs, the wheres, past, mothers, beating, respect, protection, training, perceiving, showing, imposition, competition, war, hunger, anguish, equality, objectives, acting, executing, enjoying, leaders, authoritarians, managers, administratives, “show”, hardware, life. earth, smell, taste, private, feminine, caves....

The second dimension (of doing)
To the second human dimension or world of deeds that can be understood, explained, and imitated, we will refer to as the intellectual or political world.
This is the world of minds, governments, knowledge, projects, hope, laziness, lust, prudence, technocracy, productive talent, truth, untruth, logical conscience, despair, independency and I, modernities, liberals, the hows, the whens, future, ofsprings, discourses, coordination, consulting, instruction, understanding, explaining, supervision, imitation, revolution, unemployment, dispersion, liberty,plans, thinking, defining, specialists, scholars, coordinators, specialists, “know”, software, truth, water, hearing, public, masculine, forums....

The third dimension (of feeling)
To the third human dimension or world of feelings that can be contemplated, transmitted, and adored, we will refer to as the emotional or social world.
This is the world of hearts, social groups (tribes), inspiration, yearning, love, envy, justice, “tribecracy”, creative talent, all, nothing, mystical conscience, hatred, interdependency and us, myths, dreamers, the whos, the whats, eternity, brethren, tales, surrender, providence, revelation, contemplating, transmitting, captivation, adoration, chaos, immorality, depression, fraternity, dreams, praying, rejoicing, dreamers, motivators, clients, directors, mission, “go”, “gentleware”, way, fire, touch, private, feminine, tribes….

The fourth dimension (of being)
The uthopic fourth human dimension and world, that lays beyond the other three, and therefore beyond our possessions, deeds and feelings, is so invisible that we either despise or simply forget all about it and even run short of words to refer to it.
Is precisely that invisible fourth human dimension and world of beings, the world we are looking for: a world of beings that can be admired, demonstrated, and emulated. We will refer to this new world as the spiritual or cultural world.
This is the world of spirits, cultural groups (people), wisdom, vocation, charity, wrath, arrogance, contempt, fortitude, democracy, destructive talent, speculative talent, good, evil, ethical conscience, transcendence and All Us, utopias, idealists, the forwhats, the whys, present, friends, fathers, sermons, welcome, counsel, teaching, admiring, demonstrating, ascending, emulation, crisis, unculture, obsession, diversity, ideas, meditating, ideating, wise, ideologists, counselor, vision, “blow”, “humaneware”, destiny, air, sight, public, masculine, theaters....
Now that we seem to have “discovered” this world of beings, let us search for the common purpose of All Us Human Beings beyond our differences on lesser worlds.

What about our Basic Human Rights?
Could equality be formulated as: You have the right to posses?
Could liberty be formulated as: I have the right to do?
Could fraternity be formulated as: We have the right to feel?
Could unity be formulated as: All of Us have the right to be?
Why did the French revolutionaries forgot to cry out for unity?
What would have happened if they had done?
Did they really wanted to change the world or just were after overthrowing monarchy?
Is a revolution just a political conflict?
Who are shouting today for equality, liberty, fraternity and unity as a way to trascend this global crisis?
Why are All of Us not following them?
What are All of Us waiting for?
Who are All ofUs following?
Could liberty be formulated as: I have the right to do?
Could fraternity be formulated as: We have the right to feel?
Could unity be formulated as: All of Us have the right to be?

God
Who are you that I call God?
Are you really you and diverse from me, or, as some say, you are not only All Us but also one in me and any of the others?
Is that why it seems that you never answer to me when I talk to you or ask in prayer?
If you are in fact All Us, then you ask, answer and talk to me with the voice, the cry, the smile, the singing, of any of the others, of my neighbors and sometimes even with my own voice, cry, smile and singing?
Is that why I must love my neighbor (any of the others) as I love myself?
but,
Being God Are You just All Us?
or,
You Are All that Is?
and, if
I am one on You
and
You Are One on me
then,
Are All Us One on All?
then,
Am I , are you, and are All Us:
Salt, Wine, Light and Air?
Earth, water, star and blow?
Life, Word, Path and Destiny?
Am I, are you, All Us and All that Is:
Notes, tunes, melodies of the One Universal Symphony?
So,
Am I, are you, All Us and All that is, One God?
Oh God!!!!

Basic Human Atributes and Types
Terminology
Knowledge driven types
In order to explain in words the first inequation above, we can say for example that “we behave as” a Knowleadgeable (KK) Authoritarian when we let power become more important than knowledge and knowledge more important than wisdom.
I invite you to explain in your own words the other 5 inequations and the characteristics of the correponding human types.
Inspiration driven types
In order to explain in words the last inequation above, we can say that “we behave as” an Inspired (II) Wise when we let wisdom become more important than inspiration and inspiration more important than power.

Can we propose a basic model of our humanity?
So far we have been using “black words” to think about ourselves and our basic dimensions and characteristics.
What if we used color models to represent ourselves?
Could we use simple color models to show, explain, transmit and demonstrate aspects of ou humanity in order to perceive, understand, contemplate and admire them thus saving many words?
Let us accept that:
What I possess, can be represented by one or more blue circles, to ilustrate the space we occupate of Earth’s space and resources: I possess this and this and this and this and so on....One of those circles including our own body....
What I do, can be represented by one green arrow, to ilustrate the direction (what) and the sense (for me or for my neighbor) of my deeds: I do this or this or this or this....
What I feel, can be represented by one red or black “connector”, to ilustrate my feeling (red) or not feeling (black): I feel or not feel....
Without trying to philosophize in the middle of a Manifesto, I will say that my feeling is:
· positive when the connector is red.
· negative when the connector is black
· coherent when the connector points in the same direction of my doing.
Who I am, can be represented by one golden or black cone, to ilustrate my being for serving my neighbor (gold) or for being served by my neighbor (black): I am for loving (gold) or I am to be loved (black)....

Have you ever felt the pounding of you daily life when you are in peace?

Can we model human growth?
Have you ever thought or felt that we are conceived and given birth more than once?
If we are alive, we have to agree that it is because we were fortunate that one day our father fecundated our mother and then she willingly accepted to conceive our body-to-be in her womb; and when we are about ready to live in the open world she gave us birth and took care of us while her dependant.
Can we say also that.
Our mind-to-be is conceived in the green womb of our family&school?
Our heart-to-be is conceived in the red womb of our social groups?
Our spirit-to-be is conceived in the golden womb of our people?

Can we model human Evolution?
Have you ever felt that you are in heaven and therefore heaven is right here and now?
Could it be because you are evolving and somewhere in between four heavens?
Could it be because you are evolving and somewhere in between four heavens?
Can we model human involution?
Have you ever felt that you are in hell therefore hell is right here and now?
Could it be because you are involving (decaying) and somewhere in between four hells?
Could it be because you are involving (decaying) and somewhere in between four hells?
What about communication situations?
If we play combining the basic graphs shown before we can propose 8 basic communication situations.
The 8 situations differ from each other on their purpose, thus:
· incommunication is for not communicating
· abuse is for communicating at a level the other can not handle
· monologue is for communicating one way at a level the other can handle
· dialogue is for communicating two ways at a level the other can handle
· surrender is existing for other to communicate
· immolation is stop existing for other to communicate
· service is for communicating on behalf of other
· education is for helping other to grow
Please note that situations 5, 6, 7 and 8 are based on a dialogue.
The 8 situations differ from each other on their purpose, thus:
· incommunication is for not communicating
· abuse is for communicating at a level the other can not handle
· monologue is for communicating one way at a level the other can handle
· dialogue is for communicating two ways at a level the other can handle
· surrender is existing for other to communicate
· immolation is stop existing for other to communicate
· service is for communicating on behalf of other
· education is for helping other to grow
Please note that situations 5, 6, 7 and 8 are based on a dialogue.
3 logical states for each dimension
If we propose that each human dimension has three stable logical states:
If out of the 81 theoretically possible logical combinations, we disregard the 78 unstable combinations, we end up with only the 3 stable combinations shown on the same figure below.
Can we formulate?
Combination 0000 (0 on figure above) as idling?
Combination 1111 (1 on figure above) as involution?
Combination 2222 (2 on figure above) as evolution?
A recent practical application of the above came up, while trying to think, understand and explain the following apparently paradoxical statement:
“Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.”
Can we say that?:
Economical Institutions in general, and States in particular, that supposedly Push Society towards the Good of All, in practice, they pull her towards the good of a few?
Political Institutions in general, and Governments in particular, that supposedly Drive Society towards the Good of All, in practice, they drive her towards the good of a few?
Social Institutions in general, and Social (and Religious) Groups in particular, that supposedly Drive Society towards the Good of All, in practice, they drive her towards the good of a few?
Cultural Institutions in general, and the People (All Us) in particular, that supposedly Pull Society towards the Good of All, in practice, they push her towards the good of a few?
Then, that would be my 4D confirmation of such paradoxical statement....
- 0 or idle
- 1 or involutionary
- 2 or evolutionary

If spoken words are colorful, why do we write them in B&W?
Under constant construction, review and translation, please refer to http://pensamientomodelico.blogspot.cl/2010/04/si-las-palabras-habladas-tienen-colores_18.html
One day, after finding many color words I decided to collect them on a rainbow dictionary. Actually, instead of the composed words rainbow, arco iris or arc en ciel I always used the word relmu[1] for both the dictionary and the whole color model. This because relmu to me seemed to be the name of a being, and not just a description of an atmospheric phenomenon.
Today, I call this collection of color words a Table rof Perpectives and View Points of our Humanity.
Are you ready to accept that the Higher is your View Point, the further right on the table it is for that particular Perspective?
Are you ready to Accept for instance that the Cultural View Point is a Higher View Point than the Social, the Political and Economical ones?
Or else that the Economical View Point is the Lowest View Point of Society?
Have you ever thought:?
[1] Relmu is the word for rainbow in mapudungun, the tongue of the Mapuche, the main Chilean originary People.
Have you ever thought:?
Have you ever thought:?
Lines 73 and 74 came up while thinking about education.
[1] Artists, and All Us are, never really finísh their “master pieces”, instead they set them free. A blog Manifesto on the other hand will always be a construction site....

Have you ever thought:?
- That we evolve from Body, to Mind, to Heart and to Spirit (see line 2)
- That we evolve from Cratocratic States to Technocratic Governments, to Fylicratic Social Groups, to Laocratic People? (see lines 8 and 3)?
- That our Talent evolves from Extractive (Know How Much and Know Where), to Productive (Know How and Know When), to Creative (Know Who and Know What), to Speculative (Know Why and Know For What)? (see line 9)
- That to Succeed we need a Blow to Go, Know and Show? (see line 59)
- How absurd seems the fashionable practice of human enterprises to publicize their Vision and Mission but privatize their Plans and Objectives? (see line 60)
Have you ever thought:?
- Why do we seem to whisper when we ask our basic questions?: How Much?, Where?, How?, When?, Who?, What?, For What? And Why? (see lines 25 and 26)
- That the only time to be is the present? and All Us get there by natural evolution from the past (or the time of possessing), the future (the time of doing) and eternity (the time of feeling)? (see line 31)
- That there appear to be eight (8) Communication Situations? (see lines 37 to 44 and separate section on this Manifesto)
- That All Us evolve in Motivation from Competition, to Imitation, to Adoration, to Emulation? (see line 48)
Have you ever thought:?
- How wise was JFK’s statement that “The mere absence of war is not Peace”? (see line 52)
- That the natural evolution of IT beyond Hardware and Software is Gentleware (Social Computing?) and Humaneware? (see line 58)
- That to Succeed we need a Blow to Go, Know and Show? (see line 59)
- How absurd seems the fashionable practice of human enterprises to publicize their Vision and Mission but privatize their Plans and Objectives? (see line 60)
- That in order to reach our Destiny and Become Who We Are, we need the Gift of Life, to Find Truth and to Follow the Path? (see line 61)
Have you ever thought that the Market (see line 70) could be one of the few 4 dimensional words, and not just economical as we are lead to believe?
This is easy to understand and explain if we accept first that the Market is a place of encounter and interchange of Power, Knowledge, Inspiration and Wisdom of Real 4D Human Beings.
Lines 71 and 72 came up while trying to “set free[1]” this Manifesto.
Line 72 came up when thinking of the implications of my first Vook.

Line 72 came up when thinking of the implications of my first Vook.
Could it be that in spite of the disturbance caused by books and vooks, even today, Masters only need Hooks and Guides only need Looks?
Believe it or not, line 75 came up while trying to understand the difference between a crowd and a tribe. The other two words or dimensions (party and people) came up naturally.
[1] Artists, and All Us are, never really finísh their “master pieces”, instead they set them free. A blog Manifesto on the other hand will always be a construction site....
Are All Us human beings a life long marriage of a warm person and a cold individual?
Could we color the milenary black and white Yin yang without been accused of heresy?
Since this Manifesto has already exceded its 4,000 words limit, you will have to do some half thinking of your own to understand its connections.
This will be your homework for today....
Notes:1. “My” basic and application models are clearly not mine but are just a natural result of my own learning process, acting, thinking, praying and meditating, and therefore are subject to changes to suit your own process.
2. If you find that your models are simpler and more coherent than the ones I am trying to show and half explain to you, please try them out to half think the few half thoughts that I have half thought for you throughout this Manifesto.
3. If you come up with more models such as the ones I have presented, please share them with me by showing and half explaining them as I have done.
4. The meaning or sense of the different words also reflect my own understanding, interpretation and some times choice.
5. I tried to use words in current use and avoid inventing new ones.
6. At the end of the table of Perspectives and View Points, I have purposely left some blank lines for your own personal use, just in case you like this Model Thinking Manifesto, and, while doing some model thinking on your own, you discover some new “relmu words”, single or multicolor, or you run out of them....
7. My invitation is not to use model thinking to think anything new, but as required, to think human issues all over again....

- Have you ever thought about the 6 Basic Roles of the high direction of a human organization?
Are you ready to accept?. that:
- The Red Clients (External Kings of Cups) and their Needs and Inspiration have Role 1?
- The Red Directors (Internal Kings of Cups) that Feel and Respond to the Client's Needs and Inspiration have Role 2?
- The Golden Counselors (Kings of Gold) and their Wisdom have Role 3?
- The Green Coordinator (King of Clubs) and his (her) Institutional Knowledge has Role 4?
- The Blue Project Managers (Kings of Spades) and their Institutional Power have Role 5?
- The Blue Administration (Horse of Spades) and it's Departamental Power have Role 6?
Have you ever thought why?:
- Current directors are blue (or black) because they report to the blue (or black) share holders and have no contact or accountability to the Clients?
- Organizations despise their own Wise and Wisdom?
- The Coordinator Role is taken over by an all powerful blue (or black) general managers that report to the board of directors and thus Institutional Knowledge is dispersed into multiple holders of Departamental Knowledge?
- Project Managers are not Empowered when they report to the holder of Institutional Power and not to the unexistent Holder of Institutional Knowledge (Coordinator)?
If you have thought about all this or even more, what are waiting to Take Some Actions and Do something about it, in your own Organization?
relmuche's tale on books, vooks, hooks, looks, and lures
Our first creative and speculative thinking ancestors, were suposedly expelled from paradise, by an angel armed with a spade of fire, precisely because of their stubborness and eagerness of knowing, thinking, understanding, and explaining all and good.
Ever since that day, all us the fallen ones, have been getting better and better at doing just the same, and at making a hell out of our supposed heaven on Earth.
After the fall, and for a long while, power, knowledge, inspiration and wisdom were communicated rally from person to person and from generation to generation, and that, without a doubt made this world a nicer place for all who lived, enjoyed, rejoiced, suffered and died on the planet.
Life was probably simpler and there was not much need or use for qualified or self appointed trainers and instructors.
By then, fair competition and imitation were sufficient.
At the same time, the masters used their hook and captivation to transmit and reveal inspiration to their disciples, and the guides used their look and ascending to demonstrate and teach wisdom to their scouts.
One day, probably a merchant, invented symbols to represent, write and record numbers and fígures for accounting purposes.
Not long after, and this time probably a priest, invented symbols and letters to represent words or even whole ideas and started writing for recording and communication secret knowledge. The first ones that showed any interest and saw some use for this new technology, were probably the merchants. That was the origin of association between merchants and priests, a very powerful association that has survived the passing of time as the most successful known human association.
Another day, some other creative decided that encrypting and scrolling was out of fashion, and so decided to write, or better perhaps assemble, the first book. Since it was the first book ever, it had to contain illustrated stories, discourses and explanations, tales and inspired hooks, and wise sermons and looks.
Since the priest-hour labor cost has always been rather expensive, those finely crafted and illustrated first books never made it to the still nonexistent local book stores, never mind Amazon or Barns and Noble and gathered dust in palaces and now can be found in museums, half moth-eaten and completely fire and burglar protected.
Therefore, the common people that couldn't care less about reading and writing anyway, kept on the oral tradition, long after books were invented and in use.
However, another day a very smart guy invented the printing press and....well, the rest is another successful human industry that you can probably read about in history books.
The natural consequence of the massive adoption of the revolutionary new technology, is that nowadays, every thinking person seems to want to write at least one book or vook about any imaginable subject.
First class educators and even some live masters and guides seem to feel also obliged to write books, vooks or at least papers about their hooks and looks. Publish or die (meaning starve to death?), also applies to them?
The moral of this tale is that, if you ever need but can not find a trainer, instructor, master or guide, and, as the best alternative you decide to find a self help book or vook by yourself, be careful that it simply shows and explains how and when to do what you need to do, and also, but without any thought or explanation it transmits hooks and inspiration and demonstrate looks and wisdom from the author.
Any other book or vook, instead of helping you, may lure you away from yourself, at least for a while....

The coming melt-down in higher education (as seen by a "model thinker")
Complementing: The coming melt-down in higher education (as seen by a marketer)
Unless Education is Wise, and therefore Evolutionary, it will always be "involutionary" and the status-quo will just get more powerful....
After our exposure to the Power of Trainers and the Knowledge of Instructors, we Need to be exposed to the Inspiration of Masters and the Wisdom of Guides....
In the meantime, academic degrees will just mean:
"BS = bull shit
MS = more of the same
PhD = piled higher and deeper"
"Wise ex boss of mine"
